Hi Edmund,
It is so nice to hear from you. We did get a phone call from Doug this afternoon. All is well and everyone arrived in good form! He is looking forward to flying in the cave tomorrow. Thanks for the explanation! It just really hit me the wrong way -- especially with the way things are happening in our world today. I know all the teams will have a great time and I wish all the best of times!
Sandy

  HI Sandy,

  what Nick said was a (translated) quote from the original Latin : Morituri
  te salutant. The story is that at one time one of the gladiators said this
  before entering the battle field in the Colloseum in Rome. His remark should
  not be taken literally, he was just playing with words ( Rome = Romania,
  Colliseum = Saltmine, die = breaking models). Your son has been to the
  saltmine before and I was there on his first visit and he will just doing
  fine. I wish I could be there too, but not this year.
  Keep us updated if you get any news from there.
  Edmund

  It took me while get the point. Romania is by no way _that_ bad, nor have
  I heard the salt mine to be. But then I recalled where the cite is from,
  it is as gladiators greeted ceasar before entering the arena. SO I guess
  you are psyching yourself for a contest, and ready to make a fine show?
